Prof. Farimiss Concert.

1t is not often that newspapers so
out of their own bailiwicks to give
space to past performances in suburb
an towns. OF course, they have al
ways good-natured word for every
event that is to take place, calling for
remark. Last Saturday night very
pretentious and classical concert was
announced to come off at Steere's
Opera House, Santa Monica, and the
HERALD, knowing it was to be given
under the immediate auspices Of Sig
nor Farini, had critic on the spot.
The programme was finely selected,
1t was, however, not rendered as a
whole; but what was given,
was really meritorious. We shall
not use the power OF types
to crush any Of the amateurs; but we
wish to say that in the closing num-
Der, which was the fourth act of II
Iropatore, delightful renderings were
given critical audience. Miss Jen-
ME Winston sang the part of cleo
nora" with pathos and power OF ex-
ecution which gave promise in her as
lady who will succeed on the lyric
stage, if she choose to adopt it. Oh
course, Signor Farini as "Count di
Luna" was exquisite, both as maestro
at the instrument and as baritone.
Miss Collins, one Of the young lady
singers, surprised the audience. She
has rarely sympathetic soprano
voice, and is destined to become 9
star upon the stage OF Southern Cali
fornia If, indeed, her fame does moi
extend further than the confines o
this Coast.

I'm a Good Cause.

J. johnson, a German rather small
in statue, but possessing two-horse-
power voice, becme infused with the
idea that he has been sent by Christ
to redeem the cooks OF this city. He
wandered out to Figuerora and
Adams streets and jumped into the
kitchen of a private residence with
the agility of II policeman. He began
harangueing from a small bible
which he held in his hand, greatly to
the CONSERVATION of the servants. The
Police Office was notified and Offers
Clarke, Botello and Leverich were
dispatched in hack to the scene of
the excitement. They found john
son fully warmed up to his subject,
but upon being told that there was a
larger field for saving sinners among
the constables ut the County Jail, he
jumped into the hack and the party
drove to that institution. Arriving at
the county's boarding house Johnson
was enticed into one OF the cells by
the sinful countenance OF one OF the
officers, and the door was safely
locked behind him.

A CAR MANDATORY.
why il Should be Estabaished I'm
Los Angeles. A Site Donated.

Mr.. Thomas Carter, one of the firm
OF Carter Brothers, the energetic and
accomplished railway car builders at
Newark, California, is paying Los An
geles visit. Mr.. Carter observes
with great pleasure the wonderful de-
yelopment of South California and
sees the great opportunity for the
establishment of a railway car factory
at Los Angeles. A large number Of
railways are being built in tbs Sec
ton and still larger number are pro-
iected and will be built within the
next two years. The demand for cars
of all kinds in Los Angeles is large
and constant.
Ten cars are ordered for use in
South California while one car is or
dered for the north half of the State.
The demand embraces all kinds and
sizes of street and steam railway cars.
The locality of the car works at New
ark is now rather unfoDtunate, as the
railway on which the works are sit
uated has been sold to the Southern
Pacific company, which makes its
own cars. A thousand new ears will
be needed in this section as
soon as an ordinary factory
can manufacture them, and the
distance from the hard timber region
of Missouri, Arkansas, Indian Terri
tory and Northern Texas and Arizona
is from 500 to 600 miles less to
Los Angeles than to Newark.
These hard woods are a ne
cessily in the manufacture of cars and
can be obtained at less cost than at
Newark or Sacramento. The Orna-
mental woods of Mexico can be OBJ
tanned in large quantities in Los An
geles. They are beautiful for the in
terror finish of passenger cars, and
can be brought by sea to San Pedro
at a low rate OF freight. These facts
should make a strong inducemeIt
to.any car manufacturer, to locate
their works in or near Los Angeles.
M. l.. Wicks Esq, has offered to
donate charming site for the Carter
factory at the Nadeau vineyard, at the
junction of three lines of railway,
about mile below the city near the
great boulevard which is being made
from First street to the vineyard. The
land is smooth and rich, and would be
fine location for the homes of work.
men that would be engaged in the
factory. The country is planted with
rows and forests of eucalyptus, vine-
Yards and orchards, with hourly
trains of cars day and night. 1t
would be difficult to find
another place so favored for such works
as the Nadeau vineyard. The busi-
ness of the company would require a
large number of workmen, who, with
their families, would number over
500 persons, Mr.. Carter will exam
inc the premises probably to-day.

BASE BALL.
The Haverlys Defeat the q. &
MS at SAN Francfsc0.


SAN Francisco, July 31.-The Hav-
erlys virtually won the game to-day in
the first inning. Bennett did not
make his customary hit, but was given
six balls. Hanley favored Donovan
with fly and the lattef dropped the
ball. He then threw Wild to Shea to
intercept Hanley, and Bennett went
to third, Hanley going to second.
Incell was assisted put at first
by Knell, and Donahue raped
ont single to the left which Donovan
fumbled until Hanley and Bennett
scored. Sweeny and Levy followed
with singles that sent Doiohue across
the plate and Sweeny shoFtly followed.
Mcdonald failed to catch him home,
but Immediately after Levy was run
out at second. These plays greatly
amused the spectators. No other runs
were made until the fourth inning
when the Greenhood and Morans Sc
cured one. The GreenhoOd and
Morans continued to have poor luck
at the bat, and though several men
reached the bases the tour was diff
cult to make. Sweeny wanted the
glory of run in the fifth inning and
was made happy by getting in a
double to center, reaching third on
Levy's sacrifice to Shea and scoring
on Cregan's sacrifice to McCord.
Another run was recorded in the
sixth and still another in the eighth.
As the Oakland boys failed to get
more than two in the third the cham
pions went to their dressing room in
stead of to the bat. Score: Haverlys

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-The weather
crop bulletin of the signal Office end
ing July 80 says; During the week
the weather has been warmer than
usual from the southern New England
and middle Atlantic States westward
to the Rocky Mountains, the aver
age daily excess being about three
degrees. During the week there has
been an excess of rainfall in the
States bordering on the Atlantic and
in the east gulf States, Minnesota, Da-
kota and northern Nebraska. These
excessive rains have been accom-
panied by severe local storms and
result in injury to the growing crops
and retarding the harvest. In the
central valleys and lake region less
than the usual amount of rain occurred
and the drought continues in the
corn belt extending from Ohio west
ward to Iowa and Kansas. During
July the rainfall was generally in ex-
cess in the States on the Atlantic
coast. Throughout the cotton belt
in the extreme northwest and
portions Of the Upper Lake Region
there has been less than the usual
amount of rain during the month, and
probably less than one-half the usual
amount throughout the corn belt. The
excessive heat and absence of rain
through the corn belt has effected this
crop unfavorably, and reports from
Ohio, Michigan, Indiana and thence
westward to Kansas indicate that the
drought has unfavorably effected pota-
toes and the corn crop. In the Mid
die, Atlantic and New England States
the weather has been unfavorable to
the corn, and excessive rains have in
jured hay and oats. In Minnesota,
Dakota and Nebraska the weather has
been generally favorable to all crops.
Harvesting is in progress as far north
as the 47th parallel.

SAN JOSE, July 31.-This afternoon
Mrs. M. Stern noticed a dense volume
of smoke issuing from Tobe Rinaldo's
house and she at once notified her
husband and maid and they rushed
over there. Mr.. Stearn by means OF q
step-ladder reached and broke through
the pantry window where the fire
seemed to be burning fiercely and
aided by several ladies and one or two
men who arrived later, they sue
ceeded in subduing the fire so that the
building could be entered. A domes-
tic named Lizzie Finneran was found
in the kitchen with her cloth
ing nearly burned off. She was
frightfully burned from her waist
down and there is little chance of her
recovery. The girl states that she
had started to polish the stove with
liquid backing when suddenly the
fluid ignited and blaze ran up her
sleeve. The damage to the house is
about $500.

The q. A. R. Exhibit at st. Louis
The public-spirited citizens who vol
unfairly took upon themselves the
labor of placing an exhibit of Los An
geles products at st. Louis in Septem-
Der next, are making every effort to
have a creditable showing upon the
occasion. The opportunity is a rare
one, and the undertaking has daily
grown in importance. The County
Pathological Society promptly joined
the movement, and its members,
MANY of whom are our ablest fr;,it-
growers, have determined that an un-
precedented display shall be made at
their annual fair, which occurs this
year on September 18th, continuing to
the 10Th, inclusive. So much of the
material as is thought fitted, will be
shipped to st. Louis, in care OF the
G. A. r. Committee.
The finest hall in the city has been
secured, and in it the display OF
Southern California will be made.
When the encampment closes the
exhibit will be continued in the an
nual st. Louis Exposition which be-
gins October I'd. 1t is to be hoped
that sufficient funds will be contrib
uted to enable the committee to have
continual supply go forward while
the exposition lasts, this is generally
of six weeks duration.
A method was suggested by eX-
Sheriff Gard, the Alosta boomer, by
which each section i'll the county
could suitably contribute to the fund
necessary. He inaugurated the pro-
posed plan by donating the best lot in
his town. This plan was acceptable
to the committee, and many owners
of town sites and tracts hayv followed.

was on his way to Jerusalem to con-
summate the great sacrifice and mys-

of signal Jubilee and triumph for him.
The people in thousands strewed the
way before him with evergreens, and
shouted their hosannas to the Son OF
David, making the very air resound
with the echo of their enthusiastic
demonstrations There seemedto be nc

Divine Lord caught glimpse OF the

feelings in torrent of tears "And

PACIFIC COAST.
The Yaqui River Valley to
be Opened Up
BY AMERICAN SPECULATORS,
A Servant Girl at San Jose Fright
fully Burned By Ignited
Stove Polish.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
NoGALEs, July 31.-It is stated that
company of American capitalists are
negotiating with the Mexican Govern
ment for concession to construct a
large irrigating canal through the
Yaqui River Valley. One and a half
million dollars will be invested in the
enterprise, aud it is the intention to
make the canal 100 feet wide at the
top, so feet wide at the bottom, and
an average of s feet deep. The extent
of the canal is not now known, but it
will open up hundreds of thousands
of acres OF land for cultivation.
AN IDEAL SPOT.
The land in this Yaqui Valley is
conceded by all who have ever seen it
toform one of the richest and one fthe
most productive and beautiful valleys
on this continent, and it is estimated
that millions Of acres lie there idle for
want of water. If this American
company obtain their concession, OF
which there is little doubt, and COM
ply with the requirements to construct
the proposed canal, they will open up
for settlers a new paradise.
OTHER VENTURES.
1t is also understood that the same
company is negotiating for large tracts
of land in Arizona, and that they will
shortly start work on several import
ant canal enterprises in this territory.
There is good deal of wealth en-
compassed by these gentlemen, and
their stroke marks new era in the
prosperity of Arizona. This may be
attributed to the close of the Indian
war. Within the past few months a
number of eastern capitalists and
companies have formed business rela-
tions with Arizona, and they are still
coming.

"What is the meaning of the form
alton of the Casa Land Company,
with capital stock OF $4,000, 900
that is reported to represent the
grant ?"
"That l will explain as follows !:
OF course you will understand that
a research such as l have been
making for the past fourteen
years has involved the expenditure of
a considerable amount of money.
This | was not in possession of, and
some years ago deed of usufruct was
granted to a number of capitalists and
for this consideration sufficient money
to carry on the case has been obtain
ed. They have had the right all
along to develop the land, water and
water rights, and lately they have
conceived the idea of forming COR
poration. But it is the original syndi-
cate that is doing this-not necessar-
lily all the same men, as time has
wrought many changes in their party
as well as in all other things-but the
same constitution and possessing
the same rights. The fact of their in
cooperating makes no difference at all
to the private affairs of the estate. 1t
is simply a matter OF agreement

81 think / have told you about all

tinued Mr.. Reaves, $50 much has
already been published anent the suit
that it is useless to go over the same
ground again. OF course, you will un-
derstand that everything l have done
in the case has been in the interest of
my wife, and not for any claim pre-
ferred by myself, as has been alleged,
for l have nothing at all to do
with it except in the character l sus-
tain as legally acting in her interests. "
There is little more to be added
to the above statements of
Mr.. Reavis as the facts of the case and
the nature of the suit are already fresh
in the minds of the reading public.
The question is creating a great deal
of interest among the residents on the
grant, and is at present furnishing
material for good many Of the
columns of the Phoenix papers.
